- Antibody Conjugation of a Chimeric BET Degrader Enables in vivo Activity
-
The ability to selectively degrade proteins with bifunctional small molecules has the potential to fundamentally alter therapy in a variety of diseases. However, the relatively large size of these chimeric molecules often results in challenging physico-chemical properties (e. g., low aqueous solubility) and poor pharmacokinetics which may complicate their in vivo applications. We recently discovered an exquisitely potent chimeric BET degrader (GNE-987) which exhibited picomolar cell potencies but also demonstrated low in vivo exposures. In an effort to improve the pharmacokinetic properties of this molecule, we discovered the first degrader-antibody conjugate by attaching GNE-987 to an anti-CLL1 antibody via a novel linker. A single IV dose of the conjugate afforded sustained in vivo exposures that resulted in antigen-specific tumor regressions. Enhancement of a chimeric protein degrader with poor in vivo properties through antibody conjugation thereby expands the utility of directed protein degradation as both a biological tool and a therapeutic possibility.

- Nitrosothiol esters of diclofenac: Synthesis and pharmacological characterization as gastrointestinal-sparing prodrugs
-
Despite its widespread use, diclofenac has gastrointestinal liabilities common to nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that might be reduced by concomitant administration of a gastrointestinal cytoprotectant such as nitric oxide (NO). A series of novel diclofenac esters containing a nitrosothiol (-S-NO) moiety as a NO donor functionality has been synthesized and evaluated in vivo for bioavailability, pharmacological activity, and gastric irritation. All S-NO-diclofenac derivatives acted as orally bioavailable prodrugs, producing significant levels of diclofenac in plasma within 15 rain after oral administration to mice. At equimolar oral doses, S-NO-diclofenac derivatives (20a-21b) displayed rat antiinfiammatory and analgesic activities comparable to those of diclofenac in the carrageenan-induced paw edema test and the mouse phenylbenzoquinone-induced writhing test, respectively. All tested S-NO-diclofenac derivatives (20a-21b) were gastric-sparing in that they elicited markedly fewer stomach lesions as compared to the stomach lesions caused by a high equimolar dose of diclofenac in the rat. Nitrosothiol esters of diclofenac comprise a novel class of NO-donating compounds having therapeutic potential as nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents with an enhanced gastric safety profile.

- Diastereomers of nucleoside 3'-O-(2-thio-1,3,2-oxathia(selena)phospholanes): Building blocks for stereocontrolled synthesis of oligo(nucleoside phosphorothioate)s
-
Diastereomerically pure 5'-O-DMT-nucleoside 3'-O-(2-thio-1,3,2-oxathiaphospholanes) (3) and their oxathiaphospholane ring-substituted analogues (20) were used for the synthesis of stereoregular oligo(nucleoside phosphorothioate)s (S-Oligos). The oxathiaphospholane ring-opening condensation requires the presence of strong organic base, preferably DBU. The yield of a single coupling step is ca. 95% and resulting S-Oligos are free of nucleobase- and sugar-phosphorothioate backbone modifications. The diastereomeric purity of products was estimated on the basis of diastereoselective degradation with Nuclease P1 and a mixture of snake venom phosphodiesterase and Serratia marcescens endonuclease. Thermal dissociation studies of heteroduplexes S-Oligos/DNA and S-Oligos/RNA showed that their stability is stereochemistry- and sequence-dependent.
